Step inside the welcoming vestibule and through a stunning stained-glass door into a bright and spacious living room filled with natural light.

Each bedroom includes its own ceiling fan for year-round comfort.

The clean, full basement opens up endless possibilities—create a home gym, playroom, entertainment space, or simply enjoy the extra storage. Laundry hookups and a walk-out entrance lead to the rear yard, making indoor-outdoor living and entertaining effortless.
